JULY.] DIG MANURES. 417 



certainly of much consequence in fallowing, a 

 work in which well-timed ploughings are of more 

 consequence than the mere number of earths given. 

 It is necessary in such a work to suppose this busi- 

 ness of fallowing, but the modern well informed 

 husbandman will, after his first year, but rarely have 

 recourse to them. 



FOLDING. 



Where folding is the system, it should this month 

 be followed with unremitted diligence : the lands 

 usually fixed on for this purpose are the wheat fal- 

 lows, which is very judicious in those farmers who 

 have no crop sown between the turnips and wheat; 

 but let the attentive, accurate husbandman lay it 

 down as a rule, ever to fold those lands first, which 

 will be first sown. During this month, he should 

 fold such fields as are destined for August-sown 

 grasses, of whatever sort, or tares : if the manure is 

 left long before sowing, the benefit reaped by the 

 crop will not be nearly so considerable. 

 WEAN LAMBS. 



Before this month goes out the lambs of the 

 flock should be weaned ; in this business they are 

 much earlier in Sussex than they are in Suffolk. 

 Clover in blossom is, of all other food, the most 

 forcing ; sainfoin rouen excellent ; and if the far- 

 mer has neither, he ought to have made a reserve 

 of a sweet good bite of fresh grass for them. It is 

 essential that due provision be made before-hand.
